I donot understand your problem clearly yet. I think there must be a caller and a callee (called function) when we talking about "passing arguments". That is to say, you write in your main program:
... echo calc($rs)."<br>"; ... and make sure there is a function named "calc": function calc($rightsid){ ... if(...){ } elseif ($rightsid == $oik6) { $res = ok; return $res; } elseif ($rightsid == $oik7) { $res = notok; return $res; } ... } then the result calculated in the function would be passed to the point you calling in your main program. Certainly,"ok" and "notok", I think they should be boolean, as "true" and "false". If you really write your code like that exactly, the two words "ok" and "notok" wont have any effective meaning. wish it helps to you.
